Experiment: let‘s experience roses

Next Article

In the next session with the whole class, we wanted to have our classmates feel something similar and see what in this case the rose evoked in them. We chose this flower because it has a stereotypical background and often evokes expectations. Therefore, we consciously moved away from the visual impression and analyzed what memories the rose evokes, regardless of its importance in society. We blindfolded our classmates and seduced them with all their senses. They were allowed to feel, be touched, smell and even drink a rose tea, and then reflect their sensory perceptions into our specific questions. After touching our classmates with the petals, stems and thorns, we asked them what emotion the flower would be. Then we played different sounds :rustling of dried rose petals, beating with the stem, lighting the petals on fire, etc.: and asked for an association with a color. After smelling rose water and rose petals, our fellow students were asked to find a place that came to mind for this. Finally, they were allowed to taste rose tea and associate the taste with a song.
